“No!” Jennifer quickly refused, her response almost instinctive.


    Yet, she realized if Hilliard didn’t bring them to her, how would she manage to leave the bathroom? After a brief pause, she proposed, “Could youe over, but with your back to me? And no peeking.


    Keep your distance and hand me the bath towel and bathrobe.N?velDrama.Org ? content.


    ”


    “Sure,” Hilliard agreed, taking a bath towel and a bathrobe before proceeding towards the bathroom.


    Despite his promise, he found himself asionally ncing over his shoulder, ensuring he wasn’t veering off the path.


    He hadn’t anticipated the bathroom wall would be transparent.


    Despite the steam blurring the view, Jennifer’s slender, beautiful figure was faintly visible, stirring his imagination even more.


    His ears turned red, his cheeks warmed slightly, and his Adam’s apple bobbed with nervousness.


    Inside the bathroom, Jennifer stood frozen, overwhelmed by nervousness.


    She hadn’t expected her first date to unfold like this, marking an unforgettable moment in her life.


    When Hilliard’s hand, clutching a bath towel and bathrobe, appeared through the slightly opened door, she quickly grabbed them, securing the towel around her and snugly wrapping herself in the bathrobe.


    This being their first evening together, she was determined not to appear careless orcking in dignity.


    Donning the bathrobe, she felt a wave of security wash over her.


    She exhaled a sigh of relief and stepped out of the bathroom, her hair still damp.


    “Hilliard, it’s your turn for a shower.


    Be sure to take your bathrobe with you,” she said.


    Hilliard then retrieved arger bathrobe from the closet and disappeared into the bathroom.


    With her back to him, Jennifer began drying her hair, leaving only a single, unlocked ss door between them.

    Hilliard was a bundle of nerves, aware that Jennifer could see him with a mere turn of her head.


    Summoning his courage, he endured a brisk five-minute shower, hoping to calm his nerves quickly.


    Afterward, they both settled onto the expansive round bed, lying on their sides, separated by a wide expanse.


    Neither dared to close the distance first, maintaining a respectful boundary between them.


    Ding!


    Jennifery awake, her mind a whirl of thoughts, when the chime of a message notification on her phone offered a brief distraction from her unease.


    Yet, as she reached out to grab her phone from the bedside table, her fingers brushed against


    something unexpected.


    A closer look revealed it was a condom, leaving her momentarily at a loss for words.


    She wondered, did Hilliard ce it there deliberately? If he was hinting at something, why hadn’t he made a move or tried to get closer? Was he expecting her to take the lead?


    But considering he was the one who asked her out and booked the hotel, the thought of taking the initiative seemed odd to her.


    In the seconds following her discovery, Jennifer’s mind raced with spection.


    Ding! The sound of her phone chiming cut through her thoughts once again.


    Holding the condom in one hand, she reached out with the other to pick up her phone, illuminating the screen to see who had messaged her.


    It was a message from her mother-Presley.


    “How is it going? What have you done? Are you in the hotel now?”


    Presley inquired.


    She added, “My dear daughter, have you slept together? Reply to me as soon as possible!”
